Instruments, etc, MP restores after damage (13)

I believe the answer is:

spectrometers

'instruments' is the definition.
(spectrometer is a kind of instrument)

'etc mp restores after damage' is the wordplay.
'after damage' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'etc'+'mp'+'restores'='etcmprestores'
'etcmprestores' is an anagram of 'SPECTROMETERS'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
